Just very curious how you guys...and ladies as well :blink: ....get into this hobby!!! :lol:

Anyway how long have you guy/gals been reefing??

I start off with myself.....I have to admit its been influenced from the NEMO show but I started this hobby without even watching the movie...haha strange!!! :fear:

Its been...hmmm....4 months....was since last September.....

Have to say this is the first and only hobby that I am so engross in it!! Really going in-depth....and so crazy till I have to log in SRC every day!!! Sometime even have to control myself when working... hahaha :D

:lol: Previously have a lot of hobbies....fishing, snooker, stamp collection...blar blar blar....probably just part of growing up....

FYI I have already spent > 2k for my 2 footer and climbing!! :blink: Lucky no more space for any corals already! Now just have to play with the water chemistry and maintain the corals.

Ok enough about myself......how about you guys/gals??

(Lo So....damp sian...alone at home....Mdm go outstation....sian ah)

I started off with Freshwater many years back... got bored of it coz I found a way to basically get the tank running without much maintenance... only feeding was required...

So basically got bored... so decided to move on to a small scale marine tank (1ft cube) about 3 years ago? From that 1 ft cube with internal filter, came a 1ft cube with hang on refugium, then a 1 ft cube with 1.5ft sump, then finally a more substantial 2.5ft tank...

Call it an obsession but it's the only hobby I've kept for so long.. haha

I can see many guy here do that.. <_< .. I too got my GF into it. Just keep bringing her to the LFS and she'll definitely see a fish she likes. Then setup a nano for her and voila.. no complains..

for me, one thing.. Lions.. they are just beautiful.. :D

Why do we use "My 2 cents worth" when 1 cents are not legal tender in Singapore anymore? Shouldn't it be 5 cents worth?

:lol: Hi everyone, really glad to see such enthusiasm. Thanks to efforts of fishlovers like grandmaster AT, many have been inspired into taking up the hobby. I started keeping marines in Sec 2, think should be 1987 (getting old :unsure: )and actually did it because I was insulted :angry: by an old shopkeeper while trying to purhase a boxer shrimp, but it was good advice as he challenged me to learn salt water mixing before jumping in....and then it was marine all the way....

Actually wrote my experiences in a little segment that I called "A Fishkeeper's Journal" in my shop website: www.eaquarist.com. If any of you folks would like to share your unusual experiences with the rest of us, pls feel free to e-mail me your story. ;)
